Is prostate physiotherapy massage effective?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been feeling that my urination isn't going well. I often feel it's difficult to urinate, and sometimes I need to go to the bathroom very frequently at night. People told me it's because I'm getting older and have prostate problems. I have a friend who has booked prostate therapy massage, and I'd like to consult if such massages are trustworthy.

Doctor's answer:

The urination is not very good, and it is easy to experience difficulty urinating again. Most of the time, it is considered to be caused by prolonged driving or long periods of sitting, leading to prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia. It is better to first go to the hospital for a check-up. You can also take anti-inflammatory medication orally on a daily basis. Please follow the doctor's advice regarding specific medication use. Generally, prostate physiotherapy and massage may not be very effective. It is better to go to a regular hospital for treatment.
